Bills MLB Paul Posluszny broke his arm (1 Viewer)

[Aaron Rudnicki]

just announced during the Bills/Patriots game. They carted him off the field and later reported that he broke his left forearm.

John DiGiorgio obviously should be a hot pickup if he's still available.

 

[Big Log]

Injuries continue to mount for the Bills.

 

[redman]

This Sunday just keeps getting better and better. :X

DiGiorgio over Crowell?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

DiGiorgio over Crowell?

at MLB? I think so.

 

[Rovers]

A bit off topic, but when will Ellison come back? And how might that affect which LB plays where? I think it's a given that D'G goes to the middle, but who fills in for Ellison till he returns?

I'd guess:WLB - CrowellMLB - DiGiorgioSLB - Haggannot sure when Ellison or Wire will be back.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Apparently he is out for the year.

What do you experts think we can expect for production out of DiGiorgio, similar to Posluzny?

Link?

Paul Posluszny out 8 weeks, possibly season

Heres the link from the official bills site.

 

[Tenacious]

Right now it's too early to know, but we seem to be hearing either 8+ weeks or season long. This article has **** Jauron fearing the worst:

Buffalo has lost half their defense already.

 

[cpstorm]

Didnt I see Crowell playing the MIKE after Puz went out? I know that doesnt mean it will happen like that next week, but it might be an indicator

Thanks for the info everyone. Feel bad for the kid - he was playing lights out to start the season.

Big upgrade for Whitner based on this weekend's injuries.

I was thinking the same thing.

lol I dropped DiGiorgio in 2 leagues an hour before kickoff on Sunday Aaron, you really see Crow moving back to WLB? Digorgio will be MLB since he practices there and played many preseason games there. Crowell should stick to strong side as he's a constat there as well. I could see them putting somebody new at WLB. That WLB position is just a misery position right now for Buffalo.

Crowell will probably be the WLB until Wire/Ellison come back. If DiGiorgio doesn't do well in the middle I wonder if they move Crowell to Mike and put DiGiorgio at Sam where he started the past couple weeks.Next couple weeks should be interesting to see what happens.

 

[pinda]

What's the word on Ellison anyway, I mean it's a high ankle sprain, another 2 weeks and a broken ankle could be healed.

 

[ninerfanatic492000]

sprains are much harder to totally heal, add on its a dreaded high ankle sprain and he likely won't be at full strength till late in the year if not next year.

Well, on the plus side, this now answers my weekly question of who to start: Posluszny or Ruud.

*sigh*

Damn shame for the kid, but he's young. And, now you can steal him in next year's draft when everyone's forgotten about him!

Well, few are going to forget someone that puts up +10 tackles a game.

Shhhhhh!

Looked to me like the Bills played a ton of nickel on Sunday. Started out with Poz and Crowell. Once Poz got hurt, it was basically Crowell and DiG the rest of the game.

That's what I saw, too. A lot of "Big Nickel" like snaps with Bryan Scott, who continues to miss tackles and struggle.

 

[redman]

So is it confirmed that he's out for the year?

Yes, he was placed on the IR and is out for the season.Apparently with all of their injuries, the Bills couldn't afford to keep the roster spot filled and signed Craig Nall to backup Trent Edwards while Losman is out.

 

[Gibbs4Prez]

So, Who do you folks think I should replace Posluszky with: DiGorgio or Crowell (or maybe Jon Beason)?

Thanks!

 

[Rozelle]

Tough break for Pos and all those counting on him. I expect Crowell to play WLB. If they struggle stopping the run you could see him slide to the middle.
